Sergio Perez has been summoned to the FIA stewards for an alleged breach of regulations after slamming race officials for during the season finale in Abu Dhabi. Perez was on the offensive on Sunday after a disappointing qualifying session and he was soon moving through the field up to the podium spots.<\/p>\n

The Mexican was involved in a feisty battle with Lando Norris in the final stages of the race for fourth place and they banged wheels, forcing the Briton to go off the track. Both drivers complained about one another on team radio, but the FIA stewards decided Perez was at fault for not giving Norris enough room and handed the Red Bull driver a five-second penalty.<\/p>\n

That proved significant in the end as Perez finished second on track, but the penalty meant he missed out on a podium. Perez was furious afterwards, venting his frustration on team radio before exiting his vehicle.<\/p>\n

And his comments have got him in trouble with the FIA as Perez took aim at the race stewards for his punishment. He said: “The stewards are a joke, man. I cannot believe it.<\/p>\n

“They have been very bad this year, but this is a joke. That was really a joke.” Perez’s race engineer Hugo Bird agreed with Perez. He said: \u201cI don\u2019t know what they were looking at.<\/p>\n

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner also sided with his driver on team radio, adding: \u201cYou don\u2019t deserve a penalty for that. If anything it looked like a racing incident.\u201d But Perez could be in trouble for his comments on radio with the FIA summoning him to the stewards room for an alleged breach of the International Sporting Code.<\/p>\n
